What Are the Dos and Don'ts of Men's Rings?

Should guys wear rings or not? Beyond wedding bands, it’s a love-hate accessory. While some guys seem to pull off rings with style, making the wrong choice can leave you looking like a pimp. Use these guidelines to find the style that's right for you. (And remember confidence is always your best accessory.)

Don't: Be ExcessiveOne thing we’re sure of: Less is more. If you've ever come across a guy with a ring on every finger, you'll know what we mean. No more than one ring per hand. And if you’re wearing two, one should be a wedding band.

Do: Keep It Work-AppropriateIf you work in a corporate setting, there are many ways to express your personal style, from patterned socks to contrast soles. If you’re going to wear a ring, see above.

Don't: Wear Class RingsOr frat T-shirts or backpacks with suits. Maybe it’s just us, but it feels like someone’s holding on to the past.
